Services
Büro Simpelt provides architectural and interior design services across residential, hospitality, workplace, retail, and cultural projects. We work across different scales and geographies, developing each project from its initial concept through detailed design and construction.
Our approach combines spatial clarity, material sensitivity, and close attention to how a place will be used over time. Depending on the project, our involvement may cover the complete design process or a defined stage in collaboration with local architects, consultants, contractors, and specialist fabricators.
Architecture
We develop architectural projects from early feasibility studies and concept design through design development and construction documentation. Our work considers the relationship between site, structure, climate, material, and everyday use.
Interior Architecture
We design interiors as an integral part of the architecture, shaping spatial organisation, circulation, atmosphere, lighting, finishes, and built-in elements. Our interior projects range from private residences to restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and hospitality environments.
Renovation and Adaptive Reuse
We work with existing buildings to identify what should be preserved, transformed, removed, or added. Our approach balances the character of the existing structure with contemporary spatial, technical, and functional requirements.
Furniture and Custom Elements
We design bespoke furniture, kitchens, joinery, lighting, and architectural elements developed specifically for each project. These elements are coordinated with specialist manufacturers and craftspeople from design through fabrication.
Design Development and Technical Documentation
We translate approved concepts into coordinated drawing packages, material specifications, details, and schedules suitable for pricing and construction. We also collaborate with structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, acoustic, and other specialist consultants.
Construction Coordination
During construction, we support the implementation of the design through site visits, drawing reviews, material approvals, mock-up assessments, and coordination with contractors and fabricators. The scope of this service is adapted to the location and requirements of each project.
Creative Direction and Spatial Consultancy
For selected projects, we provide strategic and creative direction at an early stage. This may include spatial positioning, programme development, visual identity coordination, material strategy, and the overall experience of a place.
